Yup! That would be the same jasmine Fiat
It is a true jasmine. An all occasion flower, happy times, celebrations, sympathy, ornamental..it is used in many ways. And so cheap too, since it is widely grown all over there. A cottage industry as well for the Sampaguita garland makers, a livelihood for the vendors, on the sidewalk and on the streets.
Oh, I just remembered, in my last trip to Manila early this year..all sorts of things sold right in the middle of the street, amazing ability for the street vendors to avoid collision..from face towels, crackers, bottled water, cigarettes, gums and one time I saw a guy selling bonsai plants running up and down the street. But that is life there..challenge is an everyday routine, a way of life. ..oops...reminiscing again!
You can see lots of photos of my Plumeria 'Celadine' in my thread at the Plumeria forum. It is also the photo in my avatar right now. That thread shows the challenges I met growing Plumerias and finally my success after 3 attempts.
